I would do as follows instead: 1. Edit the HOSTS file (in system32/drivers/etc) to include this: 123.123.123.123 mycvsserver <- this is a bodus server name 2. Whenever you are inside the firewall change 123.123.123.123 to the actual IP of the real cvs server PC, but leave the name. 3. Whenever you are outside the firewall change 123.123.123.123 to the firewall outside IP address 4. Run changeroot once and set the server name to mycvsserver 5. Verify that the connection now works OK Settings in hosts always override the local DNS so you have now defined an IP for a non-existent server and you can change this at will with no effects to the applications using TCP/IP. You may also create a small batch file that does the switch automatically for you to soimplify matters even more. BTW: You need only 2401 exposed through the firewall. Close 2402. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
